"New Orleans - it's not like anything you'd expect from a US city. The French Quarter's got an air of crumbling, Venetian hush, the Garden District's all palatial white clapboard mansions and Magazine Street's as trendy as it gets. And of course it's music central, and reinvents itself every generation. Stay off Bourbon Street, and you'll have much of it to yourself."

New Orleans - car hire

Get around with a hire car in New Orleans

Car hire is a good option for New Orleans as it means you can stay out of the city centre and get a better value hotel room - and have the flexibility to venture out of the city.
